No big story here, just tweaking the fig to realize more of its potential. I hacked in HeloDuke's arms from the sleeve roll-up on down, glued the suspenders directly to the sculpted beltline, and swapped in a bbi head and removeable beret. And painted the shotgun, altho I swore the bottle said 'flat black'. I'm not completely sold on the head as it was the best choice in immediate view at the moment, but it works well enough.

Not too shabby. Are you planning to paint the skin tones to match?

The arms work pretty nice, but I'm not personally really digging that head.

The head looks like a young John Wayne, hehe. It looks good, just not Flint to me. The gloved hands are cool though.

Here's the pic with original head you requested, Argento. I'm fine with the headsculpt here, but there's something about how the beret sits on his forehead that's all wrong, and I can't not see it. I'll keep on the looksee for a better head, but it's gotta be something different from what we got.

And the skin tones are a lot closer IRL. Other than the shine on the forearms, there's no diff between them and the bbi head that I can discern. The neck's only slightly paler under normal light, so I'm fine with it.
